After Sharing A Rare Picture, Rahul Khanna Posts Emotional Message For Father Vinod Khanna
The actor took to Instagram to share a heart-warming picture of his superstar father holding him in his arms and kissing him with all the love
Rahul Khanna lost his father Vinod Khanna to cancer last
week and has been reminiscing the time he shared with the veteran actor ever
since.
A couple of days ago, Rahul shared a beautiful
black-and-white picture of him and his brother Akshaye enjoying a seaside
vacation with their superstar father
Now, he has posted another heart-warming picture of Vinod
Khanna kissing a baby Rahul and captioned it as, “You showed me how to be a
gentleman and yet fight to the finish like a warrior. Bye Dad. 1946 – 2017
(sic).”
Rahul had flown back from the US (where he is based) to
be by his ailing father’s side during his last days. Vinod Khanna passed away
on 27 April after battling bladder carcinoma.
He was admitted to Hurkison Das hospital on April 1 and the family
had tried to keep the news of his ill-health under wraps. When the news broke,
Rahul had given a statement saying that “dehydration” had caused the hospital
stint.
After Vinod Khanna’s death, the hospital had released a statement, making it
clear that bladder cancer was the reason of the ‘70s superstar’s death.
Rahul and Akshaye were present at Vinod Khanna’s funeral which took place at
Worli Crematorium on Thursday (April 27) evening. The funeral
was attended by family and several Bollywood celebs including Vinod Khanna's
contemporaries such as Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor, Danny Denzongpa and
Gulzar.
Before Vinod Khanna fell ill, the superstar shot for Ek
Thi Rani Aisi Bhi, in which he is playing the king of Gwalior, opposite Hema
Malini who essays Vijaya Raje Scindia.
